A LETTER TO OUR VOTERS

Dear Voters:

If you were able to cast a vote this year, take a moment to thank a poll worker and an election official.

Behind every successful election is a tremendous amount of work, much of which happens long before the polls open and continues long after they close.

It takes dedicated people working behind the scenes and at polling locations to make sure:

Polling places are properly staffed and ready for voters.

Voting equipment is tested, prepared, and delivered.

Phones are answered and voters receive assistance.

Absentee ballots are prepared, mailed, received, and processed.

Ballots and election materials are secured and accounted for.

Every vote is properly counted.

From the early mornings and long days to the late nights and countless details, our poll workers and election officials give their time, energy, and dedication to making our elections possible.

So, the next time you see a poll worker or someone who works in elections, please say THANK YOU!

They are the people who make Election Day possible and help ensure that every eligible voter has the opportunity to make their voice heard.

To all of our poll workers, election officials, and election staff: Thank you for your hard work, your commitment, and another successful year of serving our voters!

Your dedication does not go unnoticed.

With appreciation,

Richmond County Board of Elections
